Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Chose the Light

Ji Liangchuan’s emotions were complex. He had always thought that he was only treating Fu Han as a shadow of Taozi, but as he got to know Fu Han over time, Taozi’s shadow in his heart faded, replaced by a deeper impression of Fu Han.

He still remembered the devastating sadness when Taozi left, as well as the listless days that followed for years.

Taozi’s death had plunged Ji Liangchuan into hell, but Fu Han’s arrival was like a beam of light, illuminating his path to heaven.

If you had to choose, would you choose to stay in hell, or follow that light, taking one step at a time towards heaven?

Ji Liangchuan didn’t know, but the one thing he did know was that he initially liked Fu Han because she had a face identical to Taozi’s; and he knew that no matter how much time passed, he would always be fond of that face.

There are no two identical people in this world, not even twins, which is why Ji Liangchuan was so devastated by the loss of Taozi.

Heaven must have pitied him, for when he thought he had lost Taozi forever, Fu Han appeared in his world.

He had struggled, considered observing from a distance, but He Xing could not make Fu Han happy, so it would have to be him; besides, who could bear to give up before such astoundingly beautiful looks?

Indeed, even though Taozi was Ji Liangchuan’s first love, his eternal sweetheart in his heart, he was well aware that Fu Han was even more beautiful than Taozi. They might look very similar, but whether it be the shape of the face or the features, Fu Han was clearly more exquisite.

With this in mind, the slight hesitation in the depths of Ji Liangchuan’s eyes vanished. He took out his phone to look at it, remembering he had received a video a few hours ago.

He was very aware that Fu Han would be furious at seeing the video, and he was even more aware that the actual situation at the time must have been different from what was shown in the video.

But what did that matter? Isn’t it always the case? What you see isn’t the truth, sadly there are too few in this world willing to seek it out. He believed that Fu Han wouldn’t have the resolve to learn the truth in her anger.

A friend’s wife should not be coveted.

That was once a constraint for Ji Liangchuan, but now it no longer existed; he felt that for the sake of pursuing happiness, some strategies were necessary.

Watching Fu Han’s smiling face in this moment, Ji Liangchuan felt his life become instantly better. He put the phone away again: it was their first Christmas together, and since Fu Han was doomed to be unhappy afterward, at least let her have a happy celebration now.

Su Cheng was also enraptured by Fu Han. It had been over four years since he met her, and like never getting enough, he found her astonishingly stunning every time he saw her, today’s red sweater and plaid skirt Christmas outfit especially so.

Su Cheng touched the pocket of his casual pants, a small smile appearing on his lips, his eyes unintentionally meeting Nan Qing’s as they shifted around.

For some reason, a feeling of guilt surfaced in Su Cheng’s heart. His face flushed, he turned his head away and no longer looked at Fu Han, but his heart thumped uncontrollably, and he couldn’t help glancing at Nan Qing’s expression from the corner of his eye.

Nan Qing’s expression was very calm, looking at Fu Han with good intentions. Her gaze towards Su Cheng was also kind, as was her gaze towards Ji Liangchuan.

However, sitting next to her, Wang Yixuan saw only the way Nan Qing looked at Su Cheng. His face changed subtly, he moved quietly to the side, but remained silent.

The Christmas Eve dinner began soon, the table large enough for over twenty people was filled with various delicious dishes, fine fruits, red wine, white wine, vodka, juices, and other drinks in abundance.

To put it mildly, this was the grandest Christmas celebration Fu Han had ever had in her life.

In the past, before she left for abroad, she had placed great importance on Christmas, thinking it was an important holiday for couples, imagining how romantic it would be to embrace each other amidst the flying snow.

But Grandpa He, due to his age, clearly favored Eastern traditional holidays like New Year’s Day and the Spring Festival. He Xing was an iron-faced, no-nonsense man, who never cared for holidays; thus, Christmas at the He Family was just like any ordinary holiday. The only consolation for Fu Han was that Uncle Zhou would prepare a Christmas tree every year.

Fu Han had not realized before, but now she finally understood that the He Family actually didn’t care much about Christmas; they were willing to spend a simple Christmas, all for her sake.

Thinking of this, and remembering the video call with Grandpa He from the night before, Fu Han’s heart suddenly softened. She stood up and took a picture of each dish on her phone, quickly made a simple video and sent it straight to He Xing.

Accompanying the video was a message Fu Han spontaneously composed, words she very much wanted to say to He Xing, to Grandpa He at this moment.

"Thank you for giving me a home when I had nothing, for your care throughout these ten years. I’m very happy now, and I wish you and Grandpa the same."

After sending the message, Fu Han did not look at her phone again; instead, she put her phone back in her purse.

As soon as she looked up, she caught Su Cheng’s gaze falling away. She cocked her head and coughed once, subtly shifting her gaze away, but inadvertently caught Ji Liangchuan also staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable in an instant.

Fortunately, at that moment, Bai Qian stood up, "Everyone, it’s truly fortunate for us to celebrate Christmas together. Let’s raise our glasses and celebrate."

The atmosphere instantly ignited, mainly because Bai Wei was particularly spirited, blew a loud whistle, and shouted loudly. Fu Xingbo immediately followed, energetically joining in; it was clear he had experience.

Fu Han’s alcohol tolerance was not bad, and considering the Fu Family’s drinks were all high-quality, she declined Fu Xingbo’s suggestion to drink juice.

In the end, since Fu Han was not drinking juice, everyone else switched to alcohol, and the juice was eventually removed by the Servants.

The dinner was sumptuous, and because Fu Han had not eaten the whole day, besides occasionally lifting her glass to clink with someone and take a sip of red wine, she spent the rest of the time eating.

She was probably the only one to eat from the beginning to the end of the feast, but actually, she just ate slowly, not really consuming much. When someone talked to her, she would stop to converse, and crucially, there were many people seeking her attention. Deliberately or not, she became the undisputed center of attention at the Christmas dinner.
